In Progress: June block for the String Me Along bee. I'm still hoping to do some sort of variation on the circle of geese, but haven't decided yet. I do have pieces cut out for my second practice block, but no work yet on the official block.

Goose's quilt. I forgot to take pictures when I had the rows all laid out, but now I've got two seams left until the top is all put together! I'm getting more & more excited about this, but now I need to decide how I want to do the back. I have this half yard bundle to work with:

My original plan was to do 12" squares on the back of everything except the blue dots, then use the blue dots to make about a 3" border around the whole thing. Last night I was thinking maybe I just want to do wide stripes on the back. I plan to hand quilt it with random circles all over. So which do you think, stripes or squares? Here's the front again, in case you've forgotten:

No progress on the crochet blanket or Christmas gift. Blah.

Completed: Nothing new.

Make sure you head over to Freshly Pieced to see what everybody else has been up to this week.

Oh, I love Goose's quilt top!!! As for the back, I like simple squares, but simple strips sounds cool too. I'm guessing, though, that the squares might show off the hand-quilting a bit more. Good luck choosing!

Ohhh I love Gooses quilt top! I'm torn, I think either choice for the back is an awesome one, I am partial to wide stripes, but I think squares would work well also! (sorry I know that was absolutely no help to you!!) Can't wait to see what you choose :-)
